Poulson’s GLRI Echo is Heard and Returned

The Great Lakes Echo’s David Poulson wrote a very provocative blog last week arguing that the public meetings being held by the EPA on the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative are, well, prescribed.  After attending one of the meetings, Poulson came away disillusioned and feeling the public was not being listened to or well represented. Instead, Poulson believed the EPA already has a list of projects and agenda items they wish to spend the $400 to $475 million on and the listening tour is merely a nod to the public for buy-in purposes. Poulson’s words hit home with a number of readers who wrote comments to this blog. To learn more about how people living around the Great Lakes are feeling about this restoration initiative take time to read this piece.
